Anurag Kashyap on his role in Dacoit: ‘The conundrums of duty versus dharma…’

Filmmaker-actor Anurag Kashyap will essay the role of a fearless cop in the upcoming action drama Dacoit, the makers announced on Friday.

The movie, which is being shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu, will feature Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur in the lead roles.

Anurag Kashyap, who has recently been part of various projects down south such as Maharaja, Rifle Club, Leo and Viduthalai Part 2, will portray Swamy, a fearless inspector who is a staunch Ayyappa devotee with no tolerance for corruption, in Dacoit.

“The conundrums of duty versus dharma, and to go about doing his job with a dry sense of humor is fantastic. I am truly looking forward to playing this character in two languages, shooting in Hindi, as well as in Telugu. To get the same impact in both the languages is the challenging part, something I am thoroughly enjoying,” Kashyap said in a statement.
